I wouldn't man, because something sucking to your taste can change and they could be just as likely to create something you LOVE more than ever before next time 'round...
Where as... as soon as artist has the mindset of 'do more of the same'... they may as well give-up as they're throwing the towel in on creativity. They're opting for what they know works rather than bravely trying to re-invent the wheel - What would Tarantino be if he just stuck to doing crime movies? My bet is not half the genius he is today; it's taking risks which initially makes those kinds of artists what they are, the moment they stop taking risks is the moment they give up on being them.
